Winter Skin Care – Honey Masks

Happy New Year my friends and followers!  I hope you all had a joyful holiday season spending time with friends, family and loved ones.  While my holiday was joyful, it was also stressful and tiring.  I am in full re-charge and self-care mode this January.  I am resting, meditating, drinking plenty of fresh green juices and hot tea with honey.  I have honey on my brain as Santa brought me a few jars of very unique, small batch honey that is dreamy and delicious. Did you know each batch of honey is different depending on the different propolis that the bees gather?  The vast differences in flora where the bees live and collect propolis gives each honey a unique taste, texture, and health benefit.  Meaning honey from the dessert in Arizona will be uniquely different from honey collected in the mountains.  The moral of the story is to try all kinds of different honeys – not just for different flavor experiences but for the health and beauty benefits each small batch offers.  So all this honey business got me thinking…with winter in full swing, what better way to self-care than with warm, honey face masks!

During winter (and after holiday feasts and treats) our skin can become dry, acne prone, itchy and dull. Honey has been used for centuries not only for cooking and treating various illnesses but also as a magic potion for overall internal and external wellness. Honey is packed with essential nutrients, a natural sweetener, a rich source of antioxidants and flavonoids and has natural antibacterial properties to keep bacteria at bay.  I have been using the Bee Yummy honey mask by Live Live & Organic for over fifteen years.  This mask can be a 20-30 minute “at home spa” treatment or you can use overnight for amazing results as an intense overnight repair treatment.  This product has been performing and delivering results for years, just check out some of the reviews!  Another things I like about this product is that it has Royal jelly as one of the ingredients, which is known to increase collagen production, promote wound healing and fight inflammation.
